I refuse to discuss any actual progress/lack of progress on my CampNano because it seems like everytime I talk about my novels, I stop writing them. Suffice to say I've already achieved my true goal for the month. My other goals ... not so much.

Then today I decided to help my lack of writing by being really stupid and fetching a small TV from storage that nobody wants and hooking it up to Brother's PS2 so I can play Harvest Moon: It's a Wonderful Life again.

End result: Three days into video game. Wordcount for the day: 20. (I think.)

I was woken up from a sound sleep at 9:30 in the morning by a cranky text message that annoyed me enough to prevent me from going back to sleep. So I got up and made coffee, and spent an hour watching House Hunters and House Hunters International. It wasn't productive, and I spent most of my time glaring at the TV and bitching about people being too picky. I managed a shower, grabbed my laptop out of my room, and curled up in one of the living room recliners in hopes of doing something for Camp NaNo. (Current Wordcount for the day: 4.) It was ... less than successful.

So far the two highlights of my day have been discovering Wild Woman Sisterhood on Facebook, which posts lovely and inspirational pictures about having pride in yourself, focusing on the future instead of the past, and finding magic in the world. And [personal profile] sailorsol's adorable Ninja Cats, which made me giggle. ♥

I'm still mostly cranky, frustrated, and currently trying to hunt down music to help me get through my current scene. Specifically a battle-theme type of instrumental. Preferably Middle-Eastern sounding, but not required. Anyone have suggestions?

I discovered this vid on YouTube a few days ago and fell in love with it. Gorgeous music, gorgeous vid, and it fits the character *perfectly*.


Today I was watching it again because that song keeps getting stuck in my head, and decided to investigate who sings it, because. *_* Which is how I discovered Michael Henry and Justin Robinett.

These guys are *amazing*. Beautiful voices, fantastic harmonies, musical ability ... Heck, they even do mixes. I hadn't found found any song they've done a cover for that I haven't adored. If I wasn't broke, I would totally be raiding iTunes for them. They need a CD. Or six.

And now I'm imagining their version of If I Die Young as a vid for Samurai and whimpering, because it would be *awesome*.




ETA: Also just discovered this lovely article through a Facebook friend. Ironically when I was thinking about CampNaNo, and if I want to/will be able to write something for it, and what I should write.

Babies don’t walk perfectly the first time they try; they start of shaky and wobbly and they fall down sometimes but with some practice and support they get the hang of it and eventually they’re walking pros. Where would you be now if as a baby you didn’t attempt to walk because you were afraid of falling?

Still don't know *what* to write, but I feel inspired all the same. ♥
